PACAP Enhances Axon Outgrowth in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons to a Comparable Extent as BDNF

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) exerts neurotrophic activities including modulation of synaptic plasticity and memory, hippocampal neurogenesis, and neuroprotection, most of which are shared with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Therefore, the aim of this study wa...
